Data from 84 significant others of patients dying from lung cancer were collected at a time-point during the last 4 months before the patients died and subsequently analysed. The occurrence of symptoms of strain was established by creating cut-off scores from the general population. To explore ...
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the dying experience of patients with cancer over the last 6 months of life. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of the last 6 months of life among patients with colon cancer and non-small cell lung cancer enrolled in a prospective cohort study from June 1989 to...
Conclusions: More elderly lung cancer patients experienced symptom distress such as dyspnea and cough than the other cancer groups. Oxygen inhalation is essential for the end-of-life care of elderly home lung cancer patients. 展开 关键词: Cancer Elderly End-of-life care Oxygen Symptoms 氧 ...
this is an actual scenario. The five year overall survival statistics for all stages of lung cancer cancer are only 18%. At stage IV, that number drops to 2%, or just two individuals out of one hundred.

We analysed urine from patients with lung cancer in the last weeks of life by headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Urine was acidified or alkalinised before analysis. VOC changes in the last weeks of life were identified using univariate, multivariate and linear regression analysis; 12 ...
